Summary
Samuel Odoh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Research interests
Samuel's research interests are in theoretical/computational chemistry with a focus on the development of quantum-chemical methods for treating strongly correlated solid-state materials and for modeling the electronic structure properties of large systems. The aim is to use these methods to guide the design of complex systems with potential impact in catalysis and energy generation.
